ELENAI sat comfortably in my chair as I listened to the attendants as they made the necessary announcements. All the while, Jason sat next to me, looking really uncomfortable.If it were to be anyone else, I would have asked what the problem was, but since I had made it my life's mission to avoid and ignore him, I minded my business.Before we had left the house, he had come to inform me that the articles had been taken down, and that he had his lawyers give a statement threatening to sue anyone who spreads false narratives me, and our marriage.I had been thankful of course, but had said nothing after that. Not even when breakfast had arrived, and I had unwillingly had to thank him again for ordering for me.But then again, Jason had chosen not to mention anything about what had happened the previous night, choosing instead to type away at his phone, while also ignoring me.I had grown so uncomfortable, that I had had to take the remainder of my meal to my bedroom, where I had savor
ELENA“I have reservations here under the name Richardson.” Jason said to the receptionist at the resort, who was having a hard time listening as she was obviously smitten with him.It was getting in my nerves how he had repeated the question already, and she just kept mute, staring at him with her large brown eyes, like he was a piece of cake or something. Not that I didn’t agree with her, but…c’mon!“Uhm….I uhhh…hold on a second.” She finally said, after I had given her my best glare.It irritated me when people, having seen a person with their partners, still go ahead and behave however they liked, not caring about the other person in the picture.Urghh!After what seemed like ages, she finally raised her head up and turned to Jason. “Okay, confirmed. You have the two VIP cabins all to yourselves.” She said with a smile directed st only him, then turned around to grab some key cards. “Here are your keys.” I tried my best not to get annoyed at her for paying attention to just Jason
ELENAThe moment I opened the door to the cabin, I literally forgot about the silly arguement I had just had with Jason, because, I felt like I was being transported into a whole world of its own.The traditional decor of the cabin, made it look like a suite made for a queen.The dark red, brown and white theme was absolutely brilliant as each color complemented each other perfectly.It was a far cry from the absolute distaster that had been Jason’s shortlet apartment. The dark theme of that house had made it look like the home for depression and anxiety.This place just screamed of comfort and fun.Only that, as comfortable as I was going to be here, I wasn’t sure I was getting any fun.It was obviously for couples because, I could see the souvenirs that were kept, and as I walked further inside, I saw the trail of roses that I hadn’t noticed actually started from the entrance and led all the way to the bedroom, and onto the bed.I laughed bitterly as how such a huge amount of white r
ELENAShit!I was very very late.I had been so lost and distracted because of that damn wet dream, that I had totally forgotten about my lunch with Jason. It was while I was thinking about what to eat, after my much needed shower, that the alarm bells had gone off in my head. I had quickly donned a small white tank top, and a thigh high leather skirt, with low heeled slippers. Then I had brushed my curly hair into a bun, before slipping on a white men's shirt over my attire. No makeup what's so ever.I was currently hurrying out in the direction Jason had given. I hadn't even realized that my phone had still been on airplane mode, and had switched it off to call Jason, when series of text messages came in.Luckily, he had stepped out of gus own cabin ages ago, for reasons he didn't specify, and was going to meet me at an outdoor restaurant not too far away from the cabin. Which made my outfit the perfect choice for me, since there was no way I would have done anything in heels. I jus
JASONI was beyond annoyed, and has almost left the restaurant for my cabin, when Tyler called. It was his call them at had distracted me from the fact that a certain curly haired woman was keeping me waiting. Nobody kept me waiting. Not in business, and certainly not when it came to personal interests, like women.The fact that Elena was constantly keeping me on edge with her antics, was beginning to get to me.Although, I wasn't going to lie. She had actually helped me on the plane, when my stupid phobia had kicked in. It wasn't something that happened often, as I had gone to a lot of therapy in the past and had been able to control it most of the time.But for some reasons best known to it, it had decided to show up on the most awkward of days, and in the presence of the last person I wanted to see it.I couldn't tell if she had realized or not, or was just being annoying, but she had helped me. It was for that reason I had invited her out for lunch. Just to reduce the tension betw
ELENAI watched Jason as he paced about, talking to whomever he was talking to on the phone. One thing I noticed though was that, whoever was on the phone with him, was making him really nervous.He wasn't smiling, and had an almost constipated expression appear on his face every now and then.I hoped it wasn't to serious though.The only people that could make me look like that while answering a call from them, were my parents, since they scolded a d teased a whole lot. I couldn't imagine Jason Richardson getting scolded and teased by his mother. Although that would have been a sight to behold.Hah!At one point, our eyes met, and we held it for a second or two before I was forced to look away first.We were just tolerating each other at this point. And the sooner I understood that, the better.A very delicious aroma wafted through the air, making my nostrils peak, just before the waitress from earlier came into view, with another waiter behind her.She was carrying a large tray, w
ELENAI needed air.It hadn’t been long since I arrived back in my cabin with Jason going straight to his. We may have had an undeniably nice time at the restaurant and after, but the agreement still stood. Iknfact, we had called a truce, which we had both accepted. But right now, it was left for my raging hormones to actually accept that fact. Which brought me to the reason why I was outside, so late in the night, wondering about. I looked behind me, in the direction of the cabin and bit my lips.I was tempted to knock on his door. I really was.That’s why I needed to be as far away from that cabin as possible.“Hey!” a voice called from my right, atartling the living hell out of me. I jumped, swirling in the direction of the voice, with a hand to my chest.Who the hell was_I was alreasy ready to hightail it ou of there when I saw who it was. My mind immediately calmed down. “you!” I half yelled at colton, who was smiling sheepishly.“diod I scare you?” he asked, giving me a look o
ELENAI laughed out loud at Colton’s joke as we threw stones into the water in front of us.We had strolled and had found ourselves at another part of the lake, different from the area I had first seen him.From where I stood, I could see the restaurant, and boy was it still booming with activity.Didn’t they sleep here?“You haven’t told me why you travelled all the way down here. Did you come for a vacation? Or an event?” Colton asked from beside me.I immediately started to feel uneasy. Yikes. Why did he have to bring that up? We were having a great time, and now I had to answers questions about my life.But what was I expecting?It was going to come up sooner or later.I bit my lip for a few moments, deciding on what answer was best. “I guess I could say I came for a vacation.” I finally said, tossing the remaining stone in my hand. The satisfying sound it made as it touched the water was like music to my ears. “I was giving a whole week off at my place of work, and…here I am.” I
